Palestinian medical sources have reported that one Palestinian was killed, on Friday evening, and three others were injured, after Israeli soldiers, stationed across the border fence, opened fire on Palestinian protesters in central Gaza, and east of Gaza city.

The sources stated that the soldiers, stationed on military towers near the border fence, east of the al-Boreij refugee camp in central Gaza, fired many live rounds, gas bombs and rubber-coated steel bullets on the protesters, killing a young man, identified as Mohammad Sa’id Abu Sa’da, 26, and wounding two others.

Abu Sa’ada was shot with a live round in his chest, causing instant death, while another young man was shot with a gas bomb in his chest and a third in the leg.

Palestinian medics moved the slain Palestinian, and the wounded, to the nearby Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah, in central Gaza. Many Palestinians suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.

In addition, soldiers stationed on towers at the Nahal Oz military base, east of Gaza city, fired several live rounds at Palestinians, close to the border fence, moderately wounding one Palestinian, who was moved to the Shifa hospital, while three others suffered the effects of teargas inhalation.

Israeli navy ships attacked, on Tuesday evening, Palestinian fishing boats near the shore in the Sudaniyya Sea, in Gaza, and abducted two fishers.

The WAFA Palestinian News agency has reported that the navy attacks the fishing boats in the Sudaniyya Sea area, near Gaza city, while they were sailing less than four nautical miles from the shore.

It added that the navy used water cannons against the fishing boats, before abducting two fishers identified as As’ad Omar and Ammar Sultan, in addition to confiscating their boats, and took them to the Ashdod Port.

The attack is part of daily violations against the fishers in Palestinian territorial waters, in addition to assaults targeting farmers and workers in Palestinian lands, in areas close to the border fence, in the besieged coastal region.

Earlier Tuesday, Israeli navy ships opened fire, targeting several Palestinian fishing boats, close to the shore in Gaza Sea, and chased several boats back to the shore.

A PIC news correspondent said the Israeli occupation navy attacked Palestinian fishing vessels setting sail off al-Sudaniya shore, to the west of Beit Lahiya town, with randomly-shot spates of machinegun fire.

The fishermen were reportedly sailing within the six-nautical-mile zone authorized by the Israeli occupation navy.

The fishermen went ashore right away for fear of being killed or kidnapped in the assault.

Palestinian fishermen in the blockaded Gaza Strip have been the permanent targets of attacks and arbitrary abductions by the Israeli occupation navy while on their way to fetch a livelihood for their children and wives in the beleaguered coastal enclave.

The sources added that the soldiers fired many live rounds at the homes, and nearby lands, especially close to the border fence, in southern Gaza.

The Israeli army conducts frequent attacks against the Palestinians, their homes and property, in areas that are close to the border fence, in addition to ongoing attacks, by the navy against the fishers and their boats, in Gaza territorial waters.

The Israeli army’s Bedouin tracker unit started Friday large-scale drills along the border of Gaza aimed at training to detect and deal with tunnels and cross-border infiltration incidents during war-like conditions.

According to the army radio, these large-scale military drills will last for two weeks along the border with Gaza and simulate the occurrence of underground incursions and fence breaches during a war.

Rabie Sawa’id is the chief tracker who commands a small unit of Negev Bedouin soldiers who use their field craft skills to serve as the Jewish state’s gatekeepers along the Gaza borderline.

He told the radio that almost no operational activity is carried out by the Israeli army on Gaza border without soldiers from his unit being ahead of other patrol troops.

The Israeli army has recently stepped up attempts to recruit soldiers from impoverished Bedouin communities in order to use them as scouts, especially during military advances to protect Israeli troops.

Israeli navy ships opened fire, on Thursday morning, at several Palestinian fishing boats, near Gaza city and in central Gaza, while Israeli soldiers opened fire on farmers in their lands, northeast of Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.

Eyewitnesses said the Israeli navy ships fired many live rounds at the Palestinian fishing boats, near Gaza city and near the Nusseirat refugee camp, in addition to Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. The attacks led to property damage, but did not lead to casualties.

In addition, soldiers stationed on military towers across the border fence, fired many live rounds at Palestinian farmers, northeast of Khan Younis, forcing them to leave in fear of additional escalation.

Several Israeli military vehicles and bulldozers invaded, on Wednesday morning, Palestinian lands close to the border fence, in Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip, amidst sporadic gunfire to force the residents out of their lands.

Eyewitnesses said two armored bulldozers and five tanks left a military base, across the border fence east of Khan Younis, and advanced more than 150 meters into the Palestinian lands.

The soldiers bulldozed several sections of the invaded lands, and fired many live rounds in the air, and towards some residents, to force them out of their lands.

In invasion is part of ongoing violations carried out by the army against the Palestinians and their lands, in different parts of the besieged and improvised costal region.
